You can observe this, in the face of a destructive natural event. An immediate architectural reaction is produced in cooperation with the rest of the not affected territory. The cooperation of certain non-governmental organizations with other groups in the same collaborative cycle improves the recycling of ideas and city planning forms. These organizations cooperate in the development and implementation of cities and settlements that need a fast reaction when facing an unexpected disaster.

Sin embargo, hay que destacar la "poca presencia" de aplicación de la Estadística espacial en España en los trabajos de investigación de Innovación Educativa. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido investigar las causas más importantes de la no aplicación de esta estadística, detectándose que hay una falta de formación en Secundaria y Bachillerato, así como en la etapa universitaria, tanto en alumnos, como en profesores. Y por ello, se proponen soluciones para la mejora en la utilización y aplicabilidad de la Estadística espacial en los trabajos de Innovación Educativa en España.

This project aims at developing an effective methodology for urban seismic risk assessment that provides solutions to some deficiencies detected after recent damaging events worldwide, including risk mitigation actions based on benefit/cost ratios. In a fisrt stage, the hazard and vulnerability models are developed and improved. A procedure to determine the hazard-controlling seismogenic fault, contsistent with different probability levels, is established. Methods to include active faults as individual sources and to consider near filed effects that significantly amplify ground motions are proposed. A more complete description of seismic vulnerability encompassing structural, non-structural components is accomplished. Vulnerability modifiers to incorporate effects or urban parameters on vulnerability classes are also quantified. A distinction is also made between damage ...

The first step was to rank variables that affect the vulnerability of a building and formúlate a statistical study with a discrimination Índex that makes it possible to identify buildings as habitable or non-habitable. This ranking applied the criteria established in various international guidelines that are used to distinguish between habitable (undamaged/no structural damage) and non-habitable buildings (structural damage). The proposed methodology was applied to a datábase with information about buildings and damage grade experienced following the 2011 earthquake in Lorca. The approach presented could be extended to other regions where neccessary data are available. 65 23 42 2008 aaPAGER Global 81 9 72 2013 EMCA Central Asia 16 6 10 2017 CSA Central and South Asia 29 9 20 '45 WHE subtypes over 14 load-bearing typologies ** 81 typologies over nine classes of materials

It comprises three phases: (1) city stratification into homogeneous regions; (2) exposure database compilation; and (3) vulnerability allocation using predictive modelling. We have conducted two applications in Lorca (Spain) and Port-au-Price (Haiti) and here we compare them. Each phase of the method is subject to variations due mainly to data availability; however, it does not affect the final accuracy that remains high in both scenarios (over 80%). It is a flexible procedure that is able to adapt to the particular features of two different cities.

The aim is to catalog and identify buildings and urban blocks for the subsequent evaluation of exposure and vulnerability to seismic risk. This is done through a collaborative mapping with the participation of a local team of volunteers (of the Technological University of Chile INACAP) that was previously trained on vulnerability issues and OpenStreetMap platform. The study area comprises 83 urban blocks. Each urban block is subdivided into parcels, which contain buildings with different type of construction and different uses. In the future, this research will continue with the development of urban resilience indexes at physical and social scales.

It comprises three phases: first, we segment the satellite image to divide the study area into different urban patterns. Second, we extract building footprints and attributes that represent the type of building of each urban pattern. Finally, we assign the seismic vulnerability to each building using different machine-learning techniques: Decision trees, SVM, logistic regression and Bayesian networks. We apply the procedure to 826 buildings in the city of Lorca (SE Spain), where we count on a vulnerability database that we use as ground truth for the validation of results. The outcomes show that the machine learning techniques have similar performance, yielding vulnerability classification results with an accuracy of 77%-80% (F1-Score). The procedure is scalable and can be replicated in different areas. It is especially interesting as a complement to conventional data gathering approaches for disaster risk applications in areas where field surveys need to be restricted to certain areas, dates or budget.

Following 2017–2019 updates, the database contains damage data for more than five million individual buildings in over 1000 survey locations following 79 severely damaging earthquakes worldwide. The building damage data for five broadly defined masonry and reinforced concrete building classes has been assembled and a uniform set of six damage levels assigned. Using estimated peak ground acceleration (PGA) for each survey location based on USGS Shakemap data, a set of lognormal fragility curves has been developed to estimate the probability of exceedance of each damage level for each class, and separate fragility curves for each of five geographical regions are presented. A revised set of fragility curves has also been prepared in which the bias in the curve resulting from the uncertainty in the ground...

Visualisation of Cadastral Lineage

In Spain, the official Dirección General del Catastro keeps a record of all the parcels as well as the changes affecting them along the time. Understanding the history of the plots requires studying thousands of cadastral records. However, no visualization tool for this purpose has been proposed yet. This paper explores some visualization techniques applied to the cadastral lineage of a study area. After assessing the results it was found that treemaps and network diagrams are useful to ease the interpretation of the cadastral lineage, although they need to complement each other, as used by temselves they may hide some important lineage relationships between objects.
